Abstract

Abstract In communicative narratology, narrative texts are not cut and dry. Some of them indicate the mutual recognition between utterers and receivers, thus forming universal bidirectional texts; others rely on receivers’ subsequent confirmation, forming unidirectional texts. Despite the different types, texts are essentially formulated via both sides of communication, which secondary narrativization pervades. Indeed, this secondary narrativization entails the process of ‘re-textualization’, eventually forming a ‘secondary text’. It remains, in most cases, a type of ‘abstract’ text, which will not become tangible until it is embodied in signs.

  • As for narrative stratification within a certain text, one must acknowledge that they denote the basic object of the study of narratology: ‘the entire study of modern narratology is based on this theory of duplicity, so much so that it serves as one of the starting points of modern critical theories over the last century’ (Zhao Y., 2013: 119, my translation)
